  • A recent development in meta-materials has copied this design. I came up with this idea years ago. They are still stuck at 4 but the design of their latices is nearly there. They'll soon have 8.

  • in this example (referring to my previous comment) say you attach a load toi the faster small load. the genorator will get harder to spin to speed. this is how the breaks work on the fancy hybrid cars work. connect the driving motor backwards to the battery and the spining wheel energy will be converted into electric energy to charge the batterys and the car will eventwaly stop.

  • @powermaks Hybrid cars still use brakes. To stop a car with a charging system alone. The charging units would have to be that powerful, the car would be over unity. Or you would be wasting energy somewhere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

    Secondly if you use that amount of power that you use to stop, cars would do 500mph +. You do the Math's. Brakes are good enough to lock all 4 wheels from 200mph to zero. You try and wheel spin all four wheel from 0 to 200mph?

  • The previous comment is intriguing, leading me to ask if you made and tested the model?

  • Just what the world needs.  More shit videos with nothing to say.

  • I didn't try this and neither do i plan to. However i do know enough about physics to tell you that you will never be able to pull as much power out of this setup as you are putting in. In fact i can almost promise you, that a higher gear ratio will result in a higher loss as well (due to increased friction).

    And no. Something like this is not of interest to the scientific community, as perpetual motion isn't real.

  • the law of conservatioin clearly states "energy cannot be made nor destroyed." this will not work. when you connect a load, your first motorized input will choke down to a stop. trust me, i have tried many ideas. but there is still hope in "tesla energy devices" pickups, and other sources that take advantage of potential energy stored on the earth. but there is no hope for magnet motors and such.

  • A car will never produce more power at the wheel than the engine produces no matter how low a gear ratio is involved. Increase torque yes, power no and energy no.

  • The scientific community's only interest in perpetual motion is to try to educate people as to the reason nature doesn't allow it to happen. The unfortunate fact that people continue to pursue it underscores how big of a problem we have with educating our youth about science & physics. In this case it is a lack of understanding about the difference between torque, power and energy and how it is transferred from one pulley to another.

  • The key to the answer to your question is in what you said:

    You "seem" to get out what you put in. (Same amount)

    That is why these types of devices are easily sold to neophytes.

    Your demonstration can come in many forms, with mechanical, electromechanical, etc, etc. but the results are the same:

    You get close.

    What people should learn from all this is that improving the setup to get closer to the same gives them insight of how to improve efficiency. Good lesson. Thanks.

  • seems to be? I don't think so. you can not get more energy out then what you put in period.
